VVON VOICIC™ Skin Walker Casting Video

I’m pleased to share this very slick, short machinima video with you – in part because I greatly admire Forren Ashford’s work in Second Life, but also because she was kind enough to invite me to do the voiceover work for this. This is our latest collaboration, and I’m sure it won’t be our last. Turn up […]

Burlesque Spectacular Video 6 of 7: I Wanna Be Loved By You

Some Like It Hot has always been one of my favourite screwball comedies. Billy Wilder’s wonderful treasure of a movie featuring Tony Curtis, Jack Lemmon and Marilyn Monroe revolves around two penniless and desperate Chicago Jazz musicians that disguise themselves as female performers and join an all-girls band to escape gangsters after witnessing a crime. […]

Burlesque Spectacular Video 5 of 7: I Put A Spell On You

I still remember the first time I heard Nina Simone sing. Oddly, it was hearing Sinnerman in a Thomas Crown Affair that compelled me to look deeper into this remarkably talented artist. Today, I’m a huge fan of every one of her standards. One such standout, is “I Put A Spell On You”. Also the […]

Burlesque Spectacular Video 4 of 7: Sooner or Later

Written by the great American composer Stephen Sondheim, especially for the theatrical version of Dick Tracy, Sooner or Later is a beautiful song that I hadn’t heard before preparing for this show. Sung by Madonna, this predatory seductive song was an excellent choice by Second Life’s biggest Madonna fan, Purdie Silkamour. Choreographed as a chair […]
